Albertsons Saratoga Avenue, Santa Clara, California
I've been in this Albertson's. I live about six blocks from this Albertson's. There is nothing special about this store. This article is either vanity or advertizing, either way, it should be deleted. Gentgeen 05:27, 20 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep, this store impacts the lives of thousands of people in california everyday. Very notable. Klonimus 13:55, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, we don't need an article on every branch of every chain store in the world. Only keep notable ones, if there are any.  Zoe 05:30, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, individual stores in chains are not encyclopedic. --Metropolitan90 05:35, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Zoe and Metropolitan90. -- DS1953 06:02, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * del waste of time ---Irpen 06:37, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * delete as an unremarkable instance of a chain. --TimPope 07:49, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe I should write an article about my local Safeway. After all, it's my favorite supermarket, Ive known people there for 14 years, they are very friendly, and they have everything I like!!! Total delete --- Antonio Banana Pie Martin 9:51, 20 August, 2005 (UTC)
 * delete--Barista | a/k/a MaI6KeRu | T/C 08:52, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Given the author of the article and past discussions of school VfDs, this may be an example of WP:POINT. ESkog 14:20, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I live about 20 miles or so from this store. If it were notable, I would have heard of it. ;)   [  +t,  +c ,  +m  ] 19:24, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, like, totally... to the max. &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 23:58, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Change of vote to extreme keep as per Gateman1997 and FCYTravis. &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 15:23, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete before I give in to the urge to write about my favourite Edeka store ... --DrTorstenHenning 13:35, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, this article is about a very notable grocery store that serves and provides food to thousands of people. Alot more important and notable then some Elementary school. And yes this is WP:POINT, and a very valid one at that. Most of the critera used for keeping worthless elementary school articles applies to this store too (eg: It's a physical place, has four walls, impacts the lives of thousands of people and it vital to its community). Gateman1997 14:06, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - If individual elementary schools in districts are notable, so are individual stores in chains. FCYTravis 07:17, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Are we going to create an entry for each of the company's 2,500 stores? What about Safeway... and Kroger? If this were about - say the chain's first store (or other notable location), I might feel differently. - Boisemedia 21:01, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Why not? We create dozens of articles about dozens of schools and other places that have no notability. Not to mention that Wikipedia isn't paper.Gateman1997 21:32, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Though I understand your desire to frame this debate around the school argument -- it doesn't wash. A place that children go for 6 (or 7) of the most vital years of their lives -- to get knowledge that will last them a lifetime, does not compare to a place people go to buy a can of tuna fish.  Boisemedia 22:02, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * I beg to differ. You can survive without school, you can't survive without tunafish (food).Gateman1997 00:11, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Exactly, as well this store probably has about 100 or more employee's and does several tens of millions in retail turnover. Anyways wiki aint paper, and we don't have a concensus to delete this. Klonimus 00:42, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * how funny, he thinks 11-4 isn't consensus to delete. Gentgeen 00:50, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Just saying there is not consensus doesn't make it true. 12-4 is enough to pass a school bond in most states. How ironic. Boisemedia 06:41, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Stop the insanity. Gamaliel 04:08, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sounds notable. Voyager640 17:55, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * keep please there is no concensus to erase this Yuckfoo 18:02, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Extreme Delete. The article's author was making a WP:POINT about non-notable school articles by creating an article about a very non-notable grocery store. What's next? Are going to start creating articles on each Starbucks? Blank Verse   &empty;  10:41, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Why not, wiki aint paper, a typical starbucks serves coffee to upwards of several thousand people each month. That seems notable to me. Klonimus 17:54, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
